| Research Abstract |
When the circadian clock of the plant synchronizes to the environmental cycles, the growth and photosynthesis rates take a higher value. This phenomenon is called circadian resonance and it may be useful in the plant factory for lettuce because lettuce can observe it. It is supposed that this phenomenon is caused by the resonance in the gene expression of clock genes and can expect the development to the control of the molecular level by elucidation of the mechanism. Therefore, in this research, following subjects were addressed :(1) a control of synchronization between circadian clock and environmental cycle using light pulse,(2) effect of that clock control to the growth, morphology and the production of luciferase protein in plant.
